Transfer of somewhere over $3 trillion with a total potential of $23.7 trillion to banks and financial institutions for the socialization of their gambling losses on illegal sub-prime mortgages and credit default swaps. We know the sub-prime lending was illegal because the FBI concluded 80% of all sub-prime criminal fraud originated from the lenders.

• A so-called bailout designed to give money to the banksters without accountability of where the money is going. This is according to testimony of Elizabeth Warren, Harvard law professor appointed to oversee the bailout for Congress, with video explanation below. The bankster-bailout was chosen rather than simply protecting depositors and reorganizing the banks under standard bankruptcy procedure. The two oligarchy political parties denied Congressional hearings for the bankster-bailout, which should have considered cost-benefit analysis for public banks rather than private banks. An important fact that would have come out of the hearings is that the total market capitalization of all the major US banks was less than $300 billion; meaning that the government could have outright bought all of them for less than a tenth of the amount given away. Think about that.

• A 2009 record payout to bank employees, including lucrative bonuses, on pace for $140 billion. Goldman Sachs, with three recent CEOs who have also been Secretary of the US Treasury, is doubling their bonuses from 2008.

• Depression-level unemployment, with the government’s “official figures” understating true unemployment by half.

• The economic crushing of the American middle class, as explained by Elizabeth Warren in her video.

• Record high home foreclosures. An alternative policy to the bankster-bailout would have been to have the banks write-down the value of the mortgages they fraudulently wrote, and reset that lower value as the new loan amount for the homeowner. This could have been a preliminary move to creating non-profit mortgage rates for the public benefit.

• Record federal budget deficit of $1.4 trillion.

• Record federal debt of $12 trillion with annual interest payments of ~$450 billion every year. The oligarchy has no policy to ever pay the national debt, only to make the minimum interest payment.

• Record total US debt from all sources of over $70 trillion.

Dylan Ratigan of MSNBC’s show,“Morning Meeting,” calls the economic “bailout” and subsequent policy,“the largest theft and cover-up ever,”“the worst deal since the Indians sold Manhattan,”“the ‘Masters of the Universe’ are on the take from the taxpayers,”“the biggest transfer of money in the history of the world,” and “No one, the Pharaohs, you pick ‘em, no one even comes close to how much the banks and politicians have stolen from us.” His video is also below.

Go ahead, you fools. Protect those big banks that robbed you blind. Trillions of American dollars are gone. Gone, gone, gone. Out of the country gone. Never to be seen again. Your money, my money. America is broke, period. You and I have nothing. What little is left is being manipulated right out of our hands. So close your eyes and pretend it's all Obama's fault if it makes you feel better. Fact is, you'd better start worrying more about what we need to do to get our money back rather than keep doing the finger-pointing game.

Another house plant heard from. How can anyone with the ability to use a keyboard believe there is such a thing as an anti-christ? I'll bet even most of your fellow members of the Flat Earth Society don't buy such silliness.

I think I have misinterpreted your previous post. For a moment I thought you were another "anti-christ" type. I should have given more thought to you post. A thousand pardons.

Newsflash: if a company posts a net loss they will pay no income tax. That does not mean they paid no taxes. They paid millions in payroll and other taxes.

What a pile of trash this article is.

Obamunism at its finest.

Can you explain to me why we'd have to pay their taxes?
Because it is impossible to avoid paying their taxes. Only people pay taxes. All business taxes are passed on to the people who buy their products or services. That cannot be avoided or changed. So-called "business taxes" are a political fraud that allows politicians to raise taxes without people knowing it. It is also inefficient because the business costs of tax compliance is also passed on to customers.

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Aquarius

You won't like it if you feel your wings are being clipped today. You want to do something in particular, only to discover that someone is objecting to your plans or that circumstances beyond your control are standing in your way. Although your instincts tell you to throw a tantrum to get your point across, you must ask yourself what this will achieve, and whether it will actually be self-defeating.
